Once a small boy was given permission to take as many nuts as he wanted to from a pitcher. The boy grabbed as many nuts as he could and tried to take his hand out of the pitcher. But he was not able to draw his hand out. After trying for some time, he began to cry. His mother, who was watching all this, came near to him and said, "Let go some of the nuts and you'll be able to take out your hand. If you need more nuts you can put your hands inside the pitcher as many times as you like."
Morals:
- Greed - wanting everything at once can lead to problems.
- You must let go when you need to.
-Based on Aesop's fable
